Borehole: a new school for the deaf in Uganda

We are dreaming of a world in which all children, including deaf and hard of hearing children, can access education and go to school! Talking Hands and our partner organization in Uganda, New Hope, are working together towards constructing a new school for the deaf. Now, the goal is getting closer and closer: We bought a piece of land and the building plans are almost finished. Nevertheless, one important ingredient is missing: We cannot start without your financial support! Therefore, we have set up a crowdfunding action for our first project: the borehole. Not only will the borehole support the whole construction process, but also it provides an added value for the community living in proximity to the school. The costs of the borehole are approximately 6.500 euro, and this money covers the insurance of workers, mobilization of personnel, drilling, installation, and pump testing. 

Every little bit of support helps us to achieve the goal of establishing a new school for deaf students in Uganda. If you want to even get more active, you can also create your own crowdfunding campaign and start an action yourself, whereby funds will go to Talking Hands and the borehole project.
